Mobile IPv6 was supposed to be a thing, and was going to be a great tool in the use of predictable IPv6 addresses on portable devices like laptops, but while my Debian kernels still seem to have Mobile IPv6 (mip6) active in them, I can't find any current information on how to actually make use of this.

These things (or other similar ones by other companies) are a godsend, even if they are somewhat overpriced. I must have 30 or 40 of them in my house.

You can also get long power bars with as many as ten outlets that are well spaced - enough to permit use of most wall wart-type plugs without needing these cords.

1/50 as fast by clockrate, and probably 1/200 the performance because of the gains in efficiency made by modern processors. Clock rate isn't everything, else the 3 GHz Pentium 4s would still be among the fastest CPUs available in performance (and they aren't).

Other codecs give better audio quality with smaller filesizes (e.g. Ogg Vorbis), but transcoding lossy to lossy makes things even lossier.

Personally, I use FLAC at home and I use MP3 where I have to, and Ogg Vorbis where I can, when file size is more important than audio quality.

Your point may be correct, or it may not be, but I don't want what I want decided by others. Give me lossless - remember, I had it (and still do) with CDs - don't take quality away from me without the option of retaining it.

One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
